This document provides the highlights of how to run object- and source-comparison reports. For more details about the various parameters, please refer to the MDXREF User Guide.
Note: Parameters suggested here are for initial comparisons during implementation.
Object Comparison Report
This report provides a comparison between any two libraries, either on the same system or on another system, where MDCMS is loaded and MDXREF processes have run.
Note: If you are running this report as part of a pre-implementation process prior to being live with MDCMS, you will want to refresh MDXREF prior to running the report.
From Green Screen:
- MDCMS
- Option 7 – MDXREF
or
- MDXREF
- F10 – Reports
- Option 1 – Object Library Comparison
Parameters:
- Basis Library: The library on the system where you are running the report
- Compare to library: The library you want to compare to. This can be the same library name if the location is different.
- Location: Use if your compare-to library is on another partition
- Comparison Type: 2
- Compare source Date: N
Source Comparison Report
This report will show you differences between source members, and provides a comparison between any two libraries, either on the same system or on another system, where MDCMS is loaded and MDXREF processes have run.
Note: If you are running this report as part of a pre-implementation process prior to being live with MDCMS, you will want to refresh your MDXREF prior to reunning the report again.
